< 2 Corinthians 12 >
1 It is not expedient for me no doubt to reioyce: for I will come to visions and reuelations of the Lord.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ahohoahoa so nni mfaso biara de, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ mehoahoa me ho. Nanso afei mɛka anisoadehu ne adiyisɛm a Awurade ada no adi akyerɛ me no.
2 I know a man in Christ aboue fourteene yeeres agone, (whether he were in the body, I can not tell, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth) which was taken vp into the thirde heauen.
Minim Okristoni bi a mfe dunan ni biribi hwim no de no kɔɔ ɔsoro. Minnim sɛ saa asɛm yi sii ampa ara anaasɛ ɛyɛ anisoadehu. Onyankopɔn nko ara na onim.
3 And I knowe such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth)
Miti mu. Minim sɛ wohwim saa ɔbarima yi kɔɔ Paradise. Bio, minnim sɛ saa asɛm yi sii ampa ara anaasɛ ɛyɛ anisoadehu. Onyankopɔn nko ara na onim.
4 How that he was taken vp into Paradise, and heard words which cannot be spoken, which are not possible for man to vtter.
Na hɔ na ɔtee nneɛma bi a wɔde ka nsɛm a ɛnyɛ yiye, nsɛm a wɔmma kwan mma wɔnka.
5 Of such a man will I reioyce: of my selfe will I not reioyce, except it bee of mine infirmities.
Enti mede saa onipa yi bɛhoahoa me ho na meremfa me ara me ho nhoahoa me ho, gye sɛ nneɛma a ɛda me adi sɛ meyɛ mmerɛw no ho.
6 For though I woulde reioyce, I should not be a foole, for I will say the trueth: but I refraine, lest any man should thinke of me aboue that hee seeth in me, or that he heareth of me.
Sɛ mehoahoa me ho mpo a, anka merenyɛ ɔkwasea, efisɛ nokware ara na meka. Nanso merenhoahoa me ho, efisɛ mempɛ sɛ obiara bu me otitiriw sen sɛnea wahu na wate afi me nkyɛn no.
7 And lest I should be exalted out of measure through the aboundance of reuelations, there was giuen vnto me a pricke in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet mee, because I should not be exalted out of measure.
Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɛnam saa adiyisɛm nwonwaso yi nti meremma me ho so no, wɔsomaa ɔbonsam bɔfo ma ɔde honam mu yaw a emu yɛ den brɛɛ me de brɛɛ me ase.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrise, that it might depart from me.
Mebɔɔ eyi ho mpae mprɛnsa kyerɛɛ Awurade na mesrɛɛ no sɛ ɔmma emfi me so nkɔ.
9 And he said vnto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect through weakenesse. Very gladly therefore will I reioyce rather in mine infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Ne mmuae a ɔmaa me ne sɛ, “Mʼadom nko ara na ɛho hia wo, na bere a woayɛ mmerɛw no na me tumi mu yɛ den pa ara.” Enti ɛyɛ me anigye pa ara sɛ mede me mmerɛwyɛ hoahoa me ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mɛte Kristo bammɔ tumi a ɛbɔ me ho ban no nka.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproches, in necessities, in persecutions, in anguish for Christes sake: for when I am weake, then am I strong.
Esiane Kristo nti, mepene mmerɛwyɛ, ɔyaw, amanehunu, ɔtaa ne akwanside so. Efisɛ me mmerɛwyɛ mu no na meyɛ den.
11 I was a foole to boast my selfe: yee haue compelled mee: for I ought to haue bene commended of you: for in nothing was I inferiour vnto the very chiefe Apostles, though I bee nothing.
Meyɛ me ho sɛ ɔkwasea, nanso mo na moama mayɛ saa. Mo na anka ɛsɛ sɛ mugye me to mu. Na sɛ menyɛ hwee a, ɔkwan biara so no, mennyɛ sɛ abomfiaa wɔ mo anim nsen “Asomafo” a mubu wɔn no.
12 The signes of an Apostle were wrought among you with all patience, with signes, and wonders, and great workes.
Mede boasetɔ dii dwuma wɔ mo mu de kyerɛɛ sɛ meyɛ ɔsomafo.
13 For what is it, wherein yee were inferiours vnto other Churches, except that I haue not bene slouthfull to your hinderance? forgiue me this wrong.
Dwumadi no bi yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade. Dɛn na ɛma moyɛ asɔre a aka no mu abomfiaa, efisɛ mammisa mo mmoa bi nti? Mesrɛ mo, momfa saa mfomso no nkyɛ me.
14 Behold, the thirde time I am ready to come vnto you, and yet will I not be slouthfull to your hinderance: for I seeke not yours, but you: for the children ought not to laye vp for the fathers, but the fathers for the children.
Afei masiesie me ho sɛ merebɛsra mo nea ɛto so mpɛn abiɛsa, na merenyɛ adesoa mma mo. Mo na mo ho hia me na ɛnyɛ mo ahode. Na mpo mmofra nkora ade mma awofo, awofo mmom na wɔkora ade ma mmofra.
15 And I will most gladly bestow, and will be bestowed for your soules: though the more I loue you, the lesse I am loued.
Ɛbɛyɛ me anigye sɛ mo nti, mɛhwere nea mewɔ ne mʼadagyew de aboa mo. Sɛ medɔ mo yiye a, mo dɔ a mowɔ ma me no so bɛtew ana?
16 But bee it that I charged you not: yet for as much as I was craftie, I tooke you with guile.
Mobɛte ase sɛ na menyɛ adesoa mma mo. Nanso obi bɛka se, meyɛ ɔdaadaafo a mede nnaadaa na eyii mo.
17 Did I pill you by any of them whom I sent vnto you?
Ɔkwan bɛn so? Menam abɔfo a mesomaa wɔn mo nkyɛn no so sisii mo ana?
18 I haue desired Titus, and with him I haue sent a brother: did Titus pill you of any thing? walked we not in the selfe same spirit? walked we not in the same steppes?
Mesomaa Tito se ɔnkɔ, na mesomaa onua baako kaa ne ho. Mokyerɛ sɛ Tito sisii mo ana? So na ɔno ne me nyinaa mfi Honhom koro mu ntu anammɔn koro ana?
19 Againe, thinke yee that wee excuse our selues vnto you? we speake before God in Christ. But wee doe all thinges, dearely beloued, for your edifying.
So mususuw daa sɛ pɛ ara na yɛpɛ sɛ yɛka biribi de tetew yɛn ho wɔ mo anim ana? Yɛkasa sɛnea Kristo pɛ sɛ yɛka wɔ Onyankopɔn anim. Na biribiara a yɛyɛ no nso, me nnamfo pa, yɛyɛ de hyɛ mo den.
20 For I feare least when I come, I shall not finde you such as I would: and that I shalbe found vnto you such as ye woulde not, and least there be strife, enuying, wrath, contentions, backebitings, whisperings, swellings and discord.
Misuro sɛ midu hɔ a sɛnea anka mepɛ sɛ mihu mo no, merenhu mo saa. Saa ara nso na sɛnea anka mopɛ sɛ muhu me no, morenhu me saa. Minim sɛ mɛba abɛto akasakasa ne anibere, abufuw ne pɛsɛmenkominya, ɔyaw ne nseku, ahantan ne basabasayɛ no.
21 I feare least when I come againe, my God abase me among you, and I shall bewaile many of them which haue sinned already, and haue not repented of the vncleannesse, and fornication, and wantonnesse which they haue committed.
Misuro sɛ da a mɛba bio no, Onyankopɔn begu mʼanim ase wɔ mo anim na mesu ama wɔn a wɔayɛ bɔne dedaw na wonnuu wɔn ho wɔ wɔn akɔnnɔ ne aguamammɔ ho no.
